ANIMAX MUSIX 2026: 2 Days at Yokohama Arena, November 20-21

Article

Japan's premier anime song festival has confirmed its main November dates, with ticket presales already underway.

Dates and Venue

ANIMAX MUSIX 2026 runs November 20 (Friday) and 21 (Saturday), 2026, at Yokohama Arena, as a two-day event.

Tickets Already Open

The fastest ticket presale window began August 19, 2026 — ahead of the event by roughly three months, giving fans real lead time to plan.

A Companion Event for Rising Artists

ANIMAX MUSIX NEXTAGE 2026, a related event spotlighting next-generation artists, takes place September 11, 2026, at Studio Coast in Tokyo — a separate, earlier event from the main Yokohama Arena dates.

What To Know

ANIMAX MUSIX sits at the exact intersection of anime and music fandom TBM's audience cares about most — this year's confirmed lineup already includes crossover talent like Mori Calliope (a Hololive EN VTuber), making it a genuinely strong bridge between TBM's anime, music, and VTuber coverage in one event.

"アニソン" (anison, short for anime song) festivals like ANIMAX MUSIX are a distinct concert category in Japan — the audience response (calls, glow sticks, choreographed cheers) follows conventions specific to anison fandom, different from a general J-pop or rock concert, worth knowing if it's your first one.

What Fans Are Saying

• "Mori Calliope at ANIMAX MUSIX is such a great crossover."
• "Presales already open, need to move fast."
• "Didn't know about NEXTAGE, checking that out too."
